Deletion of Page: User:JLevangie02420
I understand your decision to delete my user page. I thought I was doing the right thing by "experimenting in the sandbox or user page." I was hoping you might be able to at least send me a copy of my code? It took me a bit of time and I'd like the chance to place my page through the proper methods. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. JLevangie02420 (talk)

Armenia
Things weren't as bad as they were portrayed to be. The so-called "riots" (really a single grocery store and some broken windows) completely overshadowed the greater than 100,000 peaceful protest held during the day in the same area. (This was the plan.) Most of the people -- there are many photos yet unpublished -- were peaceful and not rioting. True they were waiting for the riot police and army with metal rods and Molotov cocktails, but the vast majority were not involved in any grocery store looting. (That was between 20-50 people at most.)

You can't delete not English articles!
You've deleted articles Traganje za rentom and Rawlsova teorija blagostanja, what weren't in English. But now, you must undo this delete! Why? Because Wikipedians have to translate the articles in 2 weeks, if not then the articles have to be deleted! So, please, undo your changes! Kubek15(Sign!) (Contribs)  (UBX) 15:22, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Deletion Review for Traganje za rentom
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Traganje za rentom. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:46, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi. I know you haven't had a chance to come back and weigh in on this DRV, should you be so inclined, but I just wanted to ask you if you would mind these articles being moved back to article space so they can be tagged notenglish and brought to the attention of the editors at Pages needing translation into English. The editor who initiated the conversation has expressed some concern that tagging them so in userspace violates the spirit of WP:Userpage, and I can understand that. It seems like the question of handling foreign language articles may well be due a meta discussion. In the ANI thread, User:6SJ7 has suggested creating an article subspace for them. Maybe that will provide a good compromise to keeping these articles visible in article space. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

←Hi. :) I guess the issue with this editor is that he feels uncomfortable linking somebody's user space for other editors to translate and doesn't want to leave it for the editor who requested them. As to the purpose of the DRV and ANI threads, I suspect that the editor in question may have lost sight at that moment when he headed to ANI of the fact that there aren't generally that many emergencies on Wikipedia and that a simple conversation discussing his concerns directly with you might have led to a resolution. (Judging by what he said at DRV, he seems not to have been aware at first that it existed; he may not have much experience with this aspect of things.) You did, after all, come to terms with the other editor who questioned the deletions. :) As I noted above, this does seem due for a meta discussion. I myself have tagged a number of articles notenglish and then sort of hovered over them until the translators had either addressed them...or not. Once, somebody relocated an article that had been tagged for translation, and the translators lost it for over a month. (The redirect was deleted.) Some kind of specialized space for this would be ideal. I personally think it would be a nice gesture if you didn't mind these articles heading back to article space for processing. While keeping these in article space might be process for the sake of process, there seems to be at least a chance that it's not and it could speed resolution of this issue with less drama. I don't know this contributor, but evidence suggests good faith and a good contribution history, even if he was perhaps a bit precipitous in reacting in this situation. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Sounds-Write Deletion
Hi there, I just discovered that (on 13th March) you deleted the entry for Sounds-Write, the reason being that it was "much too ad-like". So, I wanted to find out what was wrong with the page and, if possible, to get it reinstated.

The entry was very brief, and all the statements were factual, so in fact I wonder if its brevity counted against it? The intention was that we would add more content when we got the time, we didn't intend to leave it that short forever.

For reference, the page of a company which is similar to Sounds-Write in many ways is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolly_Phonics

I wonder if you could please let me know if there were any specific issues with the content of the page that we'd need to address before it could be resurrected, apart perhaps from it being too brief?

Regarding the deletion of two new articles on very popular work (book) by Watchman Nee
Hi,

I recently created/edited pages such as "Further Talks on the Church Life" and "The Normal Christian Church Life". Both of these books are very popular, widely read, much translated, and, a good subject. The reason given for (speedily) deletion was "not an article".

I somewhat disagree to that as the each and every articles takes some time to get to its full length and shape. Both of these entries (I would say) could be the best articles on wikipedia for those looking on these subjects. I understand that not every book can be made into an article on wikipedia but atleast we can do with few those which are worthy of being created as an article on wikipedia.

Secondly, if you read pages on Watchman Nee and the Church, it seems that both of these books deserves a place. As far as I know both books are as good as an article on them could be.

Finally, I don't know what exactly you are looking for in an article on books, but all I can say now is that please consider to re-publish those and if you read pages of articles on Witness Lee, local church, and the ground of the church -there is enough justification to put some articles addressing these subjects on wikipedia in encyclopedic style.

Raljoball
Why would you delete this article so soon. I just needed more time to edit it. I understand everyone else's opinions but there really wasn't a good enough argument against it. There are many far less notable articles on the site. A few people said nothing that is created in a day can belong to wikipedia. This is false information since raljoball was made in 2004. There are shows, and movies, and many other various articles that have been around for much less than this. Why should they be able to get a page. There is a reference to a website on here about raljoball. You may say this doesn't mean it is notable, but it all depends on who you ask. There are thousands of people in the U.S. who are familiar with raljoball. I can guartee more people know of it and have played it than many other articles in Wikipedia. I am asking you to show fair judgement, and give the Raljoball article another chance. I never got around to improving it to it's full capacity. This is for personal reasons I choose not to disscus. Please allow more time. Honestly, do many people know sports like Lapta, Oina, Snooker, Hopper ballooning, Korfball, Tchoukball, Bandy, Knotty, Xare or Pington? No, and all of these have articles. Why not one more obscure sport, like Raljoball. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andyman103v (talk • contribs) 21:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Rubber stamping sports articles
I notice you are marking as "patrolled" dozens of one-sentence "articles" about people whose only distinction is -- at least from the content of the article -- that they once belonged to a team. Do you think these articles are valuable to Wiki? What reader is going to thank Wiki for being directed to a page with effectively no content?

As someone who ran a Web site with millions of visitors a year, I can guess that the traffic to pages such as "Swede Youngstrom" will number a handful in a year. None of whom will stay on that page for longer than 30 seconds.

What exactly is accomplished by slavishly following (someone's interpretation) of Wiki policy to absurdity?

24.130.9.194 (talk) 17:05, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * And directing people toward absolutely nothing is better? Server space is cheap, as long as they have enough context to determine who they are, a short article seen by a dozen is better than that dozen people getting no information at all. Also, its often much easier for users to expand a stub than it is to start completely from scratch, especially unregistered users who can't start new articles. Mr.  Z- man  17:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe it's correct that providing the date of someone's birth and death is an important help to writing an article (somehow I doubt it), but Wiki should be for reader's convenience, not a hypothetical, one-time editor.


 * Server space isn't even close to the issue. The issue is putting articles in Wiki with little or no content, that quite valuable editor time is wasted on.


 * Another issue is that "Swede Youngstrom" article, we can all agree, needs some tags describing how to improve it. By rubber-stamping the article, it disappears from the radar of a more conscientious Wiki editor who has longer than 1/7th of a minute to do a review. That's right!  7 "patrolled" articles in one minute. Did he even read them?

DragonflySixtyseven, I have reverted the log you left on Giano's talkpage. While kwsn gave permission for you to provide the information I've reverted to Giano, he did not give you permission to post it here on Wikipedia for all to see. I suggest that you neatly package that log up in a personal email to Giano; his "email this user" button works fine. Thanks.

Yes, I know what IRC logs look like, and there is an awful lot missing there, such as the dates and the times.

Super Heavy Elements
I agree that super heavy element pages are questionable, but I find it completely inexplicable to have all the pages up to 132, have a GAP at 133 145 and 135, and then to have pages 136 137 138 and 139. I could understand dumping everything above some cutoff, but why on earth would you be specifically protecting/enforcing a gap of three in the middle??? By the way, in case you're interested there is a new (24 Apr 2008) science paper claiming discovery of element ~122 http://arxiv.org/abs/0804.3869.

Knockout Literary Magazine
You deleted the Knockout Literary Magazine article, on the grounds that it wasn't notable. The magazine is notable -- it's had considerable press coverage, it has published National Book Award Winners, U.S. Poets Laureate, and an upcoming issue will feature a Nobel Laureate. In addition, the magazine is well-known among both everyday writers and the GLBT community for its juxtaposition of gay and straight writers. As a literary venture, it has been nothing short of a success. It should therefore be included on wikipedia, as others may find out about it and its writers (MANY of whom have their own articles). In addition, the article was written according to wikipedia standards, it was unbiased, cited its sources, and was present on the site with no major problems. So why delete it? Deleting the website according to lack of "notability" seems more arbritrary than anything else, as journal is quite notable, particularly in the American literary scene.

Psychopthic Stalking
ThankYou for Your post on my user page. Im not sure if you meant you have been a victim of a stalker, but if you have, im very sorry. Its a terible feeling, especially when few people are listening. I dont want to say anything here about what happened offline, except to say it has been bad. Does wikipedia have a policy on stalking? Is there a support group to help victims? How can victims get in contact with each other? Once again, thankyou kindly for your post.Susanbryce (talk) 00:32, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Phentrimine
Why have you trimmed Phentrimine so bad? If you were not blind you could see that external links DID lead to information (by the way the source of the article). And now the article is dumb.

Your Dosing and administration section "It is recommended that Phentrimine be used in conjunction with proper nutrition habits and an exercise program."

Normal Dosing and administration section Recommended dosage is 1 capsule with 8 ounces of water 20 minutes before breakfast and 1 capsule with 8 ounces of water 20 minutes before lunch or in the early afternoon. Each bottle contains 60 pills. The full effects of the product may take 4 to 6 weeks.

It is recommended that Phentrimine be used in conjunction with proper nutrition habits and an exercise program. Do not increase your dose or take it more frequently than recommended.

If you miss a dose of Phentrimine, skip the missed dose. Go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

And this is just an example. You've just stripped an info and left a non-informative article with some statements taken out of the context.

I've reverted your edition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocksblame (talk • contribs) 20:27, 1 May 2008 (UTC) a) Don't revert changes wholesale. Calling it "1,3,7-trimethylxanthine" is pointless when you could call it "caffeine", for instance.

b) as per the disclaimer, we're not supposed to give medical advice. DS (talk) 23:25, 1 May 2008 (UTC) a) If I shouldn't revert changes wholesale, then why should you? My version of an article was complete. Your trimmed version is particular, just a couple of unconnected sentences taken out of the context of my article. It's not informative.

Then. About caffeine and 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine. Neither I am a medician, nor you are, so I just QUOTED and adapted external content to meet wikipedia needs. When I wrote "1,3,7-trimethylxanthine" I gave an internal link, so if one wants to know he may use a link and I won't be responsible for writing caffeine instead of 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine - the article about 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine will be. But you thought you are a medician...

b) In what particular point was I giving medical advice in the article? How can Phentermine be OK with not "giving medical advice", and MY Phentrimine NOT OK? I used Phentermine as a template...

I've reverted your edition once more. IF you are not satisfied, then make a quality article YOURSELF and don't make bad fragment article from my normal article. IF you are not going to make a quality rewrite then leave my article or delete it whole - I don't want my time spent on article adaptation to be wasted in your manner of rewriting.

Perhaps too promotional, but HECK! I'm trying to save a waterfall!
Hi Dragon Fly,

I just created a page for cass world. I hope it is sort of within guidelines. I did push the edge by mentioning that Cass world is trying to save a waterfall in The Neversink Gorge. Please advise how I can make the page better. I really played down Cass World. It is a very important site that was responsible for helping create the social networking genera. The founder has served as an adviser to many social network sites and I intend to develop it's history. I wanted to stress that Cass World focuses upon charity work and will be trying to create an event in 2009 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Woodstock Festival by getting a philanthropic group to buy The Turner Brook Reserve and establish it as an artist colony / environmental awareness "working laboratory" in the spirit of "The Summer of Love."

Keith Henson on Meme page
Hi DF67,

The cassworld stuff is unimportant. What concerns me more is that Keith Henson keeps getting "erased" from the meme page. As I understand it this is pretty much vandalism. As I see it, Henson is an important contributor to memetics and has published serious work. I would like to propose that his entry be "protected" as long as it doesn't directly mention scientology. I don't believe than any "religion" should be singled out on the meme page. However the fact that he is controversional and he has gone to jail for what could be considered his passion to defend the concept of "meme" is notable and should be considered to be added to the meme page. As it now stands, I have copied the first 2 sentences from his bio page to his section on the meme page. If this section is removed would it be considered an act of vandalism?

I've been trying to reach you in freenode via IRC. Perhaps I need a lesson in how to use IRC properly.

Hi,

You've deleted the PlaySpace article which was a contribution of mine. It was removed in less than the standard 5 days so i didn't really have a fair chance to notice, consider nor discuss with you your recommendation for deletion.

You noted your opinion that the article was ad-like...though it didn't solicit or promote the subject business and it's design was based on other longstanding pages about commercial organizations. Please observe the assumption of good faith (this article was authored in good faith for information and not as an advert) and undelete the page to my userspace so that i can obtain assistance in ensuring that the article satisfy all necessary standards before re-publishing.

Villaronga
How you doing? I received your message. Now I do have Villaringa's e-mail address, plus as I have said, I worked on his article in my "Workshop" and let him look at it to make any corrections before posting it on the mainspace. I could ask Villaronga to look over the claims of this person who claims to be his sister. Now, the strange thing is this: If this person is Villaronga's sister, like she claims to be, she would have gotten in touch with him and he would have written to me since he does have my e-mail and we have interacted a lot. The person could also have written to me in my "talk page" and I would have verified the person's claim. Strange isn't it? Tony the Marine (talk) 00:47, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Another thing, here is a copy of the last e-mail which Col. Villaronga sent me with his phone number in case my claims need verification.

"Tony, You are certainly doing a fine job in achieving that goal. Keep up the good work, and perhaps sometime soon, we may cross paths somewhere." "I do appreciate what you did on this bio.... I could not have done it better...." COL (Ret) Raúl G Villaronga (254) 289-3333 (m)

I can forward the e-mail if you wish. Now, the person who made the changes to the article was User:Riana see:. I don't think that she is related to the Colonel. Tony the Marine (talk) 01:02, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I understand, I really do. The information which Riana added wasn't much of a big deal, however in the edit summary it is stated that what I posted was "misinformation" which is a misleading statement which I resent since the article has been reviewed by the subject himself. After I wrote the article in my workshop, I asked Col. Villaronga to look at it and to tell me if there were any corrections to be made. This is what he suggested via e-mail:

"Tony: I read the bio online. I have the following changes.:
 * 1.Commands: Add after B1/8- 66th Maintenance Battalion (DS/GS); then 13th Corps Support Command (COSCOM)
 * 2.Early years: Change to "....Raul Gil Villaronga Pasarell, an accountant with...."
 * 3.Change to ".... St Croix, Virgin Islands, where his father worked as an accountant...."
 * 4.Change to "....Civil Air Patrol, and was a member of the National Champion Ponce Drill Team."
 * 5.Change to "....married Julia in 1958 during...."
 * 6.Change to "....was commissioned as an Infantry Second Lieutenant....."
 * 7.Military Career: Change to "While attending Texas A&M, Villaronga worked Brown & Root Caribe....."
 * 8.Change to "... his basic training, he attended the Infantry Officer's Basic Course...."
 * 9.Civilian life: Change to ".... to make Killeen his home.....
 * 10.Political Career: Change to "....In 1992, he successfully ran for Mayor of Killeen."
 * 11.change to "  Government Channel, where the City ...."
 * 12.change to "....on local matters, which resulted in recognition of the...."
 * 13.change ".... in the City's Departments."
 * 14.change to ".... an agreement with the Army to use Fort Hood's....."
 * 15.change to "....Commission which provided...."
 * 16.Later years: Change to "....Killeen Foundation, organized....."
 * 17.change to "... they have three grown sons, William Raul, Walter Rafael, and Robert Gabriel, and two grandsons, Christopher Raul, who just graduated from Westchester University, and Rafael Lee, who served with the US Marine Corps in Iraq."

Good job on the bio. You do great work. Raul

As I have stated before, I have provided the Col. phone number and I can make direct contact with him. Notice that none of the changes requested by the Colonel are similar to those requested by his so-called sister. I ask, how is it that the "sister" had the knowledge to complain to "OTRS" instaed of doing what everybody else does, complain or make suggestions in the articles "talk page" or the "talk page" of the person who wrote the article? I believe that the big and most important question is, do we accept what the Colonel has to say about his bio or do we accept what his so-called sister says?

So let me get this right, even if there is demand for an article, then it's up to you guys to decide whether it is noteworthy or not? There are a number of articles Id like to see on here, but from what you are indicating, it's not up to me? So what's the point in requesting or contributing to anything? And on the subject of the Daniel Cure article, one comment claims there is no Amazon sales history? Well I bought my copy on Amazon, so I don't know where they get their info from! —Preceding unsigned comment added by KingNothing1234 (talk • contribs) 18:52, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Interesting, well for the record, I have known Mr Cure in the past – we were at university together, though I have not seen or spoken to him for nearly five years, so I would not claim to fall into your “blacklist” category of friends and family! Having just read your interesting article on “sockpuppets” I find it strange that the activities of twelve year old children have seemingly cast aspersions on the character of genuine contributors! Can I prove who I am? Well, what do you want – my passport, my driving licence, my finger prints? How can anyone who contributes to any article prove who they are?

You make a curious point about “vanity publishing.” Clearly you find it a threatening prospect? On what grounds can you claim that, by definition, a book published by such companies is of no significance or note? Do you apply the same logic to bands such as Korn, who have self-funded record labels? What about Arend Wieman or Tony Grey, two authors I can claim to have never met, but I have read and admired their works (both of whom are available via Trafford)? Some of my favourite bands have been unsigned. Some of my favourite artwork has only ever been seen by a handful of people. What makes things valid and acceptable is the judgement of the audience and if the audience has to go out of their way to find the artist, then in my view, it makes the piece of art even more worthwhile as a statement than if it is delivered en masse.

If you’re definition of “noteworthy” merely relies on the book having been taken on (with the author’s permission) by a publishing company of your approval, then I assume you are of the attitude that a singer is only any good if Simon Cowell allows he or she passage to the next stage of the X Factor?!

On the same note, I have a friend (a current one – so you may safely assume me to be a “sockpuppet” if I were to add an article in this case!) who is a fellow lecturer at Plymouth University. He is writing an academic text that will be self-published through Lulu (which I believe from his website is a channel used by Mr Cure at present). He tells me there are no costs attributed to this – so presumably there is no cause to assume his vanity? Moreover, it is a safe estimate that the book will sell to approximately a thousand students. Now, a curious student is a potent creature and if they are anything like me, they will house a demand for further information. However, will you simply remove an article on the poor man, just because of the company under which his books are published “doesn’t meet your criteria”?

I thought the whole point of Wikipedia was that it was “free.” Open for people to contribute accurate and impartial information. And I assumed that if there was a genuine interest and demand for information, it was worthy. If I want access to primary sources of data, or an array of factual information, I will go straight to source in book form – I don’t know anyone who views Wikipedia as anything other than an interesting source of free information. It is not, nor should it be, a private members club. I am “free” to use my mouth to speak. There are no boundaries to what I can say. Nor is there to what I can write. Yet the internet is persistent in its barriers to entry. Be it bandwidth, webservers, programming languages, or in this case, overly officious (and dare I say it, pompous and self-congratulatory) gatekeepers, it is not free.

The aforementioned colleague recently spoke with Clare Nasir, another former student of our University currently working for GMTV as a weather presenter. She made an interesting point that, if you produce an album that the masses deem a masterpiece, you will find wikipedia articles on every line of every song. However, if you wish to produce a new article on a far higher level subject, you're more likely than not to be deleted. She, however, is a scientist, so perhaps the same rules don’t apply. In the case of Daniel Cure, I have read two of his novels and enjoyed them. Having once known him, I felt it worthwhile to contribute to the article on your site – particularly given the fact that a piece of information called an “author stub” at the bottom asked for help in expanding it in the first place!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by KingNothing1234 (talk • contribs) 17:27, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

So, we've established that you have not read my point of view. Hey Ho. On the subject of internet connection, I've no idea who Premierbookreviewer is, but Hawkeswell was my previous account name. Wikipedia would not let me log in on, so I created a new one. Hardly my fault - why should that lead to me being blocked. Promoting this author? As I have been trying to state - I am not trying to promote anyone, or thing other than information!

I'd like to know why you just decided to delete the article on MVaaS. In your comments you state that the article was "too ad like". That's your opinion and that's fine but I think that it's a bit unwikipedia like for you to decide to delete this article simply because it seems "too ad like" to you. Would it not make more sense to let the community decide how to change the article to be less ad like? Seems like the goal here is unfettered sharing of information with the masses not censorship. Managed Video as a Service is an entity that exists just like Software as a Service. Are you going to delete the articles about SaaS as well because they seem too ad like?

You can't kick someone out of a free and any-user-can-edit encyclopedia, however if they are not helpful warn then should it get further block, but not with that kind of unneccessary rudeness.

 * Aye, he wasn't very familiar with it, nor this place, but that kind of falls under this. Dreamafter (talk) 01:59, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello there!

can you shed any light on why my article on the emissions technology verification program ( ETV ) was deleted? The article was categorized, cited, linked to other articles, etc. etc. so I don't understand what's up. Let me know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomcat1969 (talk • contribs) 11:18, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

As a concerned editor
Hi DF67,

I am really enjoying the wikipedia community and I hope I have been more helpful than harmful in my time here.

I had a young man send me a brief note after I noticed his plea to you to be "adopted" and took the initiative to say hi to him. I sensed something in his tone that reminded me of me when I was in my 20's and I wanted you to take a moment, if you have time, to make sure he isn't too disouraged or distraught. I asked him to reach out to me if he needed help and I believe that he understood the context I offered it. When a young person turns to a "community" of any kind and is "censored" (no matter how appropriately) the community is responsible to ensure the young person has someone or someplace to turn to so as to make sense of what he has done wrong to make the "consensus" disapprove of him/her.

If there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to let me know. Feel free to contact me anonomously at petebertine@gmail.com as I am really having trouble making IRC work in contacting you.

Best, Pete
